Chevelle updates

[VintageMusclecar]

Only a brief update for now, more on that in a moment.

Going back to the door repair mentioned a page or so back, here are the pics Bodyguy took of the process.















As far as further progress, there hasn't been much for the last couple of weeks. First off, Bodyguy has been helping Dale's widow take care of some household issues that she couldn't do on her own, and for two, that chinese pos hood has given him more troubles than you would believe.

Long story short, he's now on the 3rd attempt to get the hood painted &amp; buffed. The two previous paint jobs were completely successful, no issues at all there--but as it turns out, the manufacturer apparently didn't apply sufficient panel adhesive between the inner structure and the outer skin...so as a result, as soon as the hood started to warm up from the buffer, the skin would warp and exhibit waves between the inserts and the edge of the hood.

As of yesterday, the hood has received a copious application of body panel adhesive <span style="font-style: italic">and</span> expanding foam between the inner &amp; outer skin.

That sum'b*tch ain't moving now. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif[/img]

Depending on what the following week brings, maybe more updates next weekend.

Maybe.
